It has been a few weeks since I've posted on my blog, and there's been a few happenings. Firstly, we hosted my hubby's cousin while she was in town for a wedding, then we went on vacation to the Outer Banks for my 31st birthday, and coming up we have a family reunion and vacation at my childhood home, sweet home.

But first, let's rewind to a few weekends ago. While we were in the bookstore I found this devotional, Seeing God In America by Thomas Nelson. Its perfect for anyone who is a traveler, or adventurer, with stories about 100 spectacular places in America accompanied by a devotion and prayer.

One of the pages had a devotion on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where were heading the following weekend.

The day before my hubby's cousin came into town he treated me to a bouquet of roses, which I arranged with some greenery from our garden. So fragrant.

Hubby's cousin was in town for a wedding. We took her for a stroll around uptown and treated her to brunch at The Asbury, and lavender lemonades at Amelie's.

The following day we treated her, and her fiancé (who was in the wedding party), to brunch at The Gallery. The weather was beautiful, so we took some pictures on the balcony overlooking the golf course.

Hubby's cousin is planning her wedding for June, 2018 a mere three weeks after she graduates from her masters program. She's studying to be a pediatric anesthesiologist, so she would break into stories from her residency. I may have twitched a time or two.

Afterwards, we took them on a tour of the Billy Graham Library, and treated them to lunch at the Dairy Barn, before saying our goodbyes.

For my next post you'll have to get some iced water, sunscreen, and sunglasses on because we're going to the Outer Banks. . .
